#someday I will return to tf…

[cuppajj]

My friend, who is reading MTME for the first time, said that their favorites are Tarn and Overlord and I responded to that “Okay Cuppajj” and then after a second they went “TGE COOKIERUN FANARTIST?!?!”

I thought this was funny enough to share

LMAAAAOOOOOOO oh no… they don’t know about my mtmte days… they dont know abt my overlord and tarn art…

[ratcandy]

I have returned in your inbox once again after a long time because I got reminded of the existence of cogr again. i am like a cockroach who cannot be exterminated because... there is a zote nosk (food) on your counter table 🔥🔥

I have a funny headcanon about the superiors in the den, other than being winged and feral women (mostly) with ridiculously long names that they look like they mauled a keyboard to insert dominance as they just screeched to the keyboard to give them a painstakingly long name for DOMINANCE!! (an order from its superior)

But what if.. they often do superior talks and gossip in the afternoon about the latest nosk drama and whatever nosks talk about.. other than murder, blood and to probably brag about the recent 1 kg morsel they snatched from a nosk hatchling (it was weak btw for being 1 day old. Not very noskly of you 🍅🍅🍅 that is so zotey NOT ✨️NOSKLY✨️).

i would also like to imagine that they all have offspring so it's something they will brag and talk because imagine having offspring to kill you and to take your place, that is so noskly!! *+1 nosk approval*

Imagine zote's mom being in the part of the group talking about nosk gossip, drama, lame superior bragging stuff and murder.

And then one of the superiors would start to brag how their offspring will kill them someday and to take their place as a superior to continue the bloodline and stuff whatever about their nosk offspring they have with their mates they held in gunpoint to mate with them (its orders from your superior, procreate with me now). I imagine that zote's mom would be Hella nervous and embarrassed since obviously... *You know* she would likely try to change topic whatever if she was even asked her offspring.

Likely in those topics, she will 100% avoid from those topics from being bullied, ridiculed, and to be made as a joke from her fellow superiors in the superior council for having weak offspring if they don't know, she would likely probably lie to them to say..

"i have only one son and it's "hunter donning of tiktik, idk who tf is that kid but that is not mine ew" *zote's mom sweats and says this in a fancy nosk dialogue whatever* or she would say it's just a rumor, I have so many haters here

or it would be funny for her to FAKE zote's age to say, "oh.. he is not a runt, he is justtt 1 day old and I just laid him yesterday, I likely believe he will have potential in unaliving me to continue the tradition and the fate i long off" *zote's mom glares at zote's dad to say, "bitch you better promise to change that "thing i laid you begged me to spare or i will kill you in the most gruesome way possible for embarrassing me, my own long with name with 46873 letters, my bloodline as well"* (NOSK DAD SWEATS. WHAT DOES NOSK DAD DO..LEAVE AND RUN DAD RUNNN AAAAAA)

But I am just sure that zote's very existence and the fact that he is the offspring of the superior, he is not only just weak in the nosk den but he is own to be peak pathetic in history of hallownest and in today and the worst part.. HE IS ALIVE...and OH NO.. ZOTE'S MOM IS GOING TO BE KNOWN AS THE SUPERIOR WITH OFFSPRING SO WEAK THAT EVERYONE IN HALLOWNEST CALLS HIM BIG PISS BABY AND KNOWN FOR THAT FOREVER NOOOOOOO... (i am sorry mamma, you have to accept your noskly baby is a transgender mushroom who rambles about their woes, do you want to read "camouflage of the great renown?! Like the chapter he talks bad about you and all chapters he trash-talks about nosk kind?)

So I believe that the superiors would talk behind her back to make fun of the fact that she had the weakest offspring in bug history and she choose to keep him alive. They would definitely humiliate her and mock her to say she probably has love goo goo eyes for mating one of the biggest losers in the den and to gossip if to say she also has motherly love for her offspring which is why she didn't choose to kill zote.

I can image Superior Kexadallaferfirin looking at whatever zote is doing and laughing in front of her to say, "geezz your offspring is so pathetic that he is memorable for being one of the most sad meow meows in not only the nosk den, but IN ENTIRE hallownest HAHAHAHAHA"

Superior Vorkalazelroth would say something like"what do you see in that loser did you mated? Cmon girl I know you have needs but you are a superior.. Did you have feelings for your mate and offspring? How lovely dovely of you mother~ ❤️❤️" *She giggles*

Superior Kalxaitvoitre would say "your offspring is terribly disappointing to look at that it feels to be second hand embarrassment to be next besides your side, I would rather give birth to a measly dirtcraver than to whatever tf you and your mate created ew"

This would build up her already low temper and hearing the snickering and mockery from her superiors maw, I would like to think that she would either screech at them to shut up, hung her head low in embarrassment and shame, and storm down upset but all which she will take out her anger on her lovely husband for the embarrassment she had birthed in the world.

I would like to imagine that zote's dad to like drag her away in those superior gossips and to say "hush hush yea um... darling they are not laughing at you, they are laughing at that nosk who tripped i swear"

Zote mom: "that is a fucking dirtcraver, I am not stupid, they ARE LAUGHING AT US YOU FUCKING NITWI-*

But if zote's dad is atleast witty and smart to buy her time from preventing her to maul him to blame for all the embarrassment she faced in daily. He would make an excuse to say, "he is young, please give him time, you know not everyone is strong at first, they become strong sooner at later, soon whatever Superior Kexadallaferfirin is gossiping about us, she will soon be in SHOCK *he starts to make exploding sound in his maw* to see his hidden potential someday *he sweats harder than he is cooking and it's himself*

Zotes mom: *rolls eyes* "Ok I am giving you time because uh... I like your energy and whatever.. and I reflected the main reason why I choose to mate with you because... you are efficient hunter yea, but YOU BETTER PROMISE ME THAT THIS THING... WILL NOT BE A DISGRACE TO MY BLOODLINE SKREEEE"

*Zote's dad who just pissed the floor and tries to look tough but he looks like he is crying and shivering* "Y-y-yes I will.. raise... him mm to toughen..up like .. I promised.. to be an efficient hunter like me.... uh you see me during courting.. yea"

*Zote's mom hand palms (claw palms?) And rolls her eyes at the same time as she hears another giggle from the maws of Superior Kalxaitvoitre, Superior Vorkalazelroth, and Superior Kexadallaferfirin making jokes about her for the millionth time*

I think most fo the nosk den would think the same as the superiors but most of them are not brave or knew that is a death sentence for a painful death, so most would likely talk behind her back..

Ghost nosk (hunter donning of two horned vessel): I can't believe that the weakest thing that ever walked in hallownest soul is in here and it's the offspring of the superior that gave me an order just last hour *he giggles*

Hornet nosk (hunter donning of two horned weaver): she likely has motherly affections for her wormly children i bet

*They both laugh*

*Zote's mom appears and gives them the hardest stare of hey bitches i heard what you're saying*

Zote's mom: Repeat. that. again.

Ghost nosk: "uh.. we are laughing about the nosk that just tripped and it's very funny" *points are dirtcraver and sweats*

Hornet nosk: it's very funny yea... *gets a heart attack*

Zote's mom: that. Is. A dirtcraver.

OK. There's so much in here I am so excited. Let's go through this one piece atta time

Something about the superiors being described as "winged feral women (mostly)" has opened my eyes to how silly they sound as a concept. i mean you're not wrong. that is in fact what the superiors are. but that's making me giggle

As for superior gossip oh yes I like to think so. I've had in my brain that they have regular meetings to discuss Stuff and Things, and shittalking their fellow denmates is probably something that happens. A Lot. "I hate that weakling donning mask of gruzzer I think I should slaughter them posthaste" and everyone nods along like yeess queen slay.

BUT AS FOR THE REST OF YOUR ASK. Ohh man.

The thing is, Zote's Mom is... scary. She's violent, she's cold, and she earned her place as a superior for a reason. She's very Strong and Not Afraid to murder. Lower-ranked nosks know to stay out of her way, and the other superiors. Well.

I think when Zote was hatched and was kept alive by his father, any scrutiny held for his Mother would be kept secret. If the other superiors thought it reflected poorly on her for letting her mate do what he did - which they absolutely would - they would Not be stupid enough to say so to her face unless they wished to die.

Because like. She would kill them. A superior would be like "Sharp in claw but dull in mind, it would seem. You allow your mate to keep that wretched spawn alive, and for what purpose? Is it trust you harbor, or affection?" and in response Mama would, in fact, kill them in front of the entire den

So any teasing done on Mama would have to be quiet. Discrete. Just between the other superiors. Should she hear them even snicker amongst themselves she would rear her head in like "Idiot says what?" and claw the throat out of the first one to respond

Outside of that she would absolutely deny Zote was ever her offspring, though! Weakest cringefail bitch in the den does NOT belong to me, I did not birth that thing, and I did not choose his equally cringefail father (that last part is also a lie of course).

And as for Dad. well they can make fun of him as much as they want. He's not a superior, he can't fight back without dying, and Mama won't stick up for him. They could kill him if they wanted to and she wouldn't do a damn thing

the "look at that nosk who tripped" / "that's a fucking dirtcarver" exchange has ABSOLUTELY happened in the den though jklhKMGJKFHJHF.

but yeass.s... Mama bullying. She can't know about it or she'll start killing people. But she should be bullied I think. Yes

I should have never spoken(ya Cove Holden x gn reader)

AN:Well hello everyone! I´m currently working on the halloween special,meanwhile just a little something I made,I recently finished the game Our Life and I´m so obssesed with Cove he´s such a cutie(why tf is this so long help?) Warnings:This may contain spoilers from the game! Genre:Angst,fluff Word count:1332 Summary:After fixing Miranda´s and Terri´s argument,you feel the need to tell Cove the truth,why you became friends with him in the first place,but it looks like he didn´t liked it that much...

-I´m glad they got together again

+Me too,I was scared that it could have been something more serious or that Terri wouldn´t have wanted to speak to Miranda about it....but things came out good

You finally felt better,you were in your room with your boyfriend Cove,both of you had just finished fixing a little argument that was going on between your friends Terri and Miranda,you were nervous this would lead to something worse,but that wasn´t the case.

The whole talk about fixing problems made you think something...how back then Cove´s dad had offered you 20 $ to be friends with his son. You felt guilty about it,you always felt this pressure on your chest that came together with anxiety and bunch of "what ifs" anytime you thought about it. You hated feeling like this,keeping this secret for so much time only made it worse every single day that passed by,but you also were scared,what would happen if you revealed it? and if you didn´t? would Cove find someday on his own? Would he...leave you for this?

Cove noticed that you were absent thinking about something,your gaze was lost,which made him concerned about you.

-Hey...is everything okay?You look like you´re thinking about something

+I...

How to put it?Or should you actually? You were starting to get anxious about this that you didn´t noticed your hands were shaking,Cove took your hands which made you return back to reality

-Hey hey,calm down,what´s wrong? You can tell me anything

Enough,you had to tell him,you couldn´t hold the guilt you´ve been feeling through all this years anymore.

+Cove,I need to tell you something...

He looked curious and worried at the same time.

+But please,please...promise me that what I´m going to tell you isn´t going to change anything between us,that you won´t leave me

-Y/N don´t say that,I would never leave you

You swallowed and got ready for the truth,your voice was trembling but you still tried to put everything together.

+Well...remember when we were kids and you first moved in?

He noded while looking at you,he looked as nervous as you were.

+The first person I met wasn´t you,but your dad,when- ugh,when I was coming back home I met him,he...he offered me 20$ to be your friend

Oh god,you did it,and what now???Cove didn´t even say anything,he was shocked,you were so scared that you started to shake even more and it was harder to pronounce a single word now.

+I don´t know what to say I- I´m sorry I can explain-

You didn´t even get to finish before Cove got up from your bed and left your house running

+Cove wait! Please! I can explain!

Tears started to roll down your face,you tried following him but when he got to the entrance to your house he left slamming the door

+Fuck!

What were you supposed to do now? You collapsed onto the floor crying,did you just lost the first and only person you loved?

+Why...why...why did I have to say that?! I should have kept it to myself and suffered through my whole life!

The sound of heavy footsteps got you back into reality,it was your sister Liz

-What was that door slam?! Y/N! What´s wrong are you okay?

With the help of Liz,you got back up,tears still in your eyes

+Liz...

You inmediately hugged her,she didn´t knew what was going on but she hugged you back trying to calm you down.After you relaxed a little bit,you sat on the couch with her and explained everything.

+And...I don´t know what to do now,I don´t even know if he´ll want to listen to me or if he´ll believe me or-

-Hey,listen,if he loves you,he´ll listen and believe your words,he loves you more than anything in this world,maybe it was just the shock of the situation that made him act like that

+I hope so...

-Get up,go get him and talk about it,that´s the strong point of your relationship,you always find a solution to everything and you both always talk things,come on,go for him

+Thank you Liz....

She wiped the tears from your face,you inmediately got up and left the house,he couldn´t have gone too far.You decided to go to his house first,maybe he locked himself in his room after this.

After knocking,the door opened inmediately,meeting Mr Holden

-Hey Y/N,everything okay?

He gave you a worried look,you realized it must have been the redness in your eyes and the marks on your cheeks from crying

+Oh,yeah nothing,is Cove here?

-No,I thought he was at your house? He didn´t came in

+Oh...okay then I´ll go get him

-What?

+It´s- hard to explain I´m sorry,I´ll tell you later

You left the house and started running towards the poppy hill behind your house,leaving Mr Holden behind worried and confused,there was no other place Cove could be.

And there he was

The sun was setting,you saw Cove sitting looking at the distant waves with a sad look on his face,you walked towards him.

+Cove,I need to explain things to you...

He didn´t say anything and just kept his gaze fixated on the sea,you sat next to him and looking down,you spoke

+I don´t know what your mind is thinking right now about this situation,but I´m sure it´s not what I think....

You got a deep breath and continued

+I accepted the money,yes,but my mind changed the moment I saw you,it didn´t matter if it was because of the money or not,but I wanted to get to know you,I wanted to be your friend...I always felt guilty about it,and I was scared to tell you because I didn´t knew how you would react to this,but the guilt was killing me...Anytime I thought about it my heart would ache,because I was scared that if I told you,I´d lose you,and I don´t want that...

Cove looked at you with a soft gaze,waiting for you to continue

+The thing is...that if you think that everything we have now and we had in the past,it´s because of 20$,then you´re wrong,because I love you Cove,and I´m saying this with my whole heart...

You could feel your eyes start to get wet,fuck

-Y/N I...I´m sorry,I should have listened to you first instead of running away like a kid,but I thought that-that you were lying,that everything you felt about me was a lie

+Cove no,don´t say that...my mind changed the moment I saw you,everything I think about you is true,I would never lie to you

-Then tell me thruth...

+The truth?

You looked at him confused,there weren't any secrets left to say,so what was he talking about?

-Do you actually love me?

+What?I- I told you right now-

-I want to hear it...

You thought that this was the only way of Cove believing you,so you agreed and grabbed his hands while you looked at him

+Cove,there's no one else in this world that I love more than you,you're my everything,I can't imagine my life without you,because you're the most important part of it,I always loved and I will always love you Cove,I love you...

You could feel your eyes starting to tear up again,you tried looking away to hide the tears

-I'm sorry...

+Sorry?for what?

-I made this situation worse by running away and hiding,that was childish,I should have listened to you but I just...the moment I heard you say that I thought that everything we lived together was a lie,but I was wrong,and only because I didn't listened to you,I'm sorry...

+It's okay,I'm glad you understand,sorry for mentioning it,I should have kept it to myself

-Don't say that,keeping it would have only made it worse,do you feel better now that you told me?

+I do,way better actually,keeping this secret was slowly ending me

You both looked at each other with a soft gaze,Cove opened his arms for a hug and you gladly took the offer,wrapping your arms in the warmest hug ever,as Cove kissed your forehead

+Don't ever think that my love for you is a lie,because that is not true

-I won't,I love you Y/N

-I love you Cove

[sadiecoocoo]

Sooo I’ve heard some ppl say that fear no mort is gonna be abt them facing their greatest fears or something, and I’ve seen some ppl theorize on what said fears will be. And id like to give my two cents on the matter :)

Rick’s fears

I think that Rick would honestly be terrified of seeing Diane or prime again. Like imagine if Diane’s ghost just showed up and was rlly nice to him and jsut not like herself at all (cuz we know her personality is the same as the ship and garage AI, so she isn’t the nicest person in the world, which like slay). I think her just being nice to Rick and saying how it wasn’t his fault would freak him tf out, cuz let’s remember that he made a ghost AI of her that was programmed to berate him and be mean to him, so he didn’t want comfort or to be told that it wasn’t his fault.

Now, if Rick saw Prime again, one of two things would happen; he would either break down fully, or just be rlly fucking mad and try to kill prime again (personally this is what I want to see the most, but I’ll explain that in a bit)

Another fear could be that the rest of the family (mainly Morty) dies or is fatally injured to the point of no return. Because we’ve seen Rick bring Morty bad from fatal injuries, and death from the last episode multiple times, but how would Rick react if he couldn’t do anything?

Another fear for Rick (this guy is gonna be going thru it) would be that he sees more of prime in Morty. I’ve read multiple fics where Rick is scared of Morty turning out like prime, so what would happen to Rick if that rlly started happening?

Now, another fear, this one I think would be the most intense for Rick, would be pirates. No more to add to that, we all know why :)

Morty’s fears

I think Morty would have more basic fears, things more that a teenager would be afraid of (along with all the other crazy shit that Rick has exposed him to). For starters, he may just be terrified of rejection, which would be an interesting thing to see. Like imagine if Rick was having a full on break down, and then Morty’s just dealing with minor stuff like being told no in a mean way.

A more in depth fear could be abandonment issues. He was definitely rlly upset with the two crows, and very worried abt the Jerrick stuff. Imagine Morty’s stuck in a dark room, completely alone, and then when he does see “Rick” again, he’s just being rude to Morty and telling him how worthless he is (but in a harsher way than he used to, in a way that makes it seem serious). What if Morty got a vision of Rick replacing him with another Morty, like holy shit that would mentally scar him so badly! Or what if a fake Rick started taunting Morty with the free Morty coupon?

I also think that Morty has a buried fear of ending up like prime. Like he’s already sort of on his way to becoming like any Rick, what with him being desensitized to violence and being seen as a national threat. I think that both him and Rick would be absolutely terrified if that happening to Morty, if he someday snaps and Rick can’t do anything abt it.

Edit: just thought abt this but, uh- king jellybean… not much needs to be said for that one…

In conclusion,

I’m seriously excited abt the next episode, I wanna see what theories (from anybody) were correct and I wanna see if the finale is gonna be as mentally scarring as the others have been!

Back to what I said abt Rick seeing prime, you all know abt the theory of prime downloading a bit of himself into Rick’s head right? What if Rick sees Prime’s “ghost” in whatever haunted house they go to, and he fully thinks that it’s just fake and stuff after the initial shock. But when they get back home, what if Rick sees prime again? What if he continues to see prime on a daily basis? What if that escalates to prime always being there, always tormenting him, always telling him how worthless he is, until Rick can’t take it anymore?

Ig all I have left to say abt all this is, what if?

🀄️reflecting on richonne

Rick and Michonne have had many similarities in their individual journeys. Some tragic, like both losing their firstborn sons and having to kill their best friend from the old world after that said-friend tried to take Judith from them. But one of the really sweet similarities is them both having an elder that influenced their lives. 

Both R&M had an elder figure that really believed in them and helped them hold onto hope, not just for the greater good of everyone but for their own life too. And both these elders passed down a memorable, powerful, and needed phrase that helped Rick and Michonne believe love was still out there for them. Which then helped advance Richonne’s exceptional love story.

For Rick, that elder mentor was Hershel.

I love Hershel and I believe he truly was the second-most influential character to guide Rick. (With Michonne of course being number one.) In that lovely scene tending to a plant during the s4 premiere, Hershel passes down a sentiment to Rick that could be the thesis of the whole show and also the exact message Rick needed to know for his own life. 

It’s when Hershel tells Rick, “Things break, but they can still grow.” 

After so much loss, Rick’s family probably felt like it would be broken forever, especially once Carl became the only person left that he knew from his world before. In s3, Rick also hit a breaking point after all the loss, stress, and pressure he’d been carrying. 

Yet, despite all that brokenness in his life, something beautiful and better than he could’ve imagined still grew. Hershel had to remind Rick that, even when things break, whole new plants are still possible. And by embracing that thought, it helped Rick to eventually embrace the love and fruitful life that was out there for him. 

That idea of broken things growing and becoming new and bountiful is beautifully executed in Rick and Michonne’s story. They restored so much in each others lives and a whole new healthy plant is exactly what Rick got through Michonne and their wonderful Grimes 2.0 family.

Imo it’s no coincidence that right after this farming scene between Hershel and Rick, we immediately hear Michonne riding in on a horse as Rick stands up like he’s been magnetically summoned to greet her. Michonne’s return meant a crucial part of Rick’s whole new plant had arrived. 😌

For Michonne, that impactful elder was Deanna.

The more time goes on, the more I become a fan of Deanna. Because I know a Richonner when I see one lol. 

I love how much Deanna saw the potential in Rick and Michonne and tried to get them to see what she saw in them. (I also feel like Deanna knew how special Michonne must have been to Rick right from the jump cuz I’d imagine Aaron told her that the only reason TF agreed to go to ASZ is because Rick does what Michonne wants 😋)

But I especially love Deanna’s deathbed scenes with Michonne. It’s so significant for Michonne’s journey and heart. I adore how passionately Deanna wanted to use her final moments to speak with Michonne woman-to-woman and be adamant that Michonne go after what she wants for herself personally. (Plus it’s a sweet way to set up Richonne, which would be canon just two episodes later.)

Deanna’s pertinent phrase during their chat is, “Someday this pain will be useful to you.”

Having endured so much trauma, it’s meaningful for Michonne to be reminded that valuable things can still come out of pain. And the pain isn’t just useful to others but “to you.”

As I reflected, I realized one of the first ways we saw Michonne’s pain prove extremely useful to her was when she first arrived at the prison. Because I believe Michonne being a mother, and especially a mother who experienced the pain of losing a child, is what even led her to TF in the first place. 

It hit me how a huge reason Michonne even chose to first pull up to that prison fence is because she knew a baby was in there. 

Michonne could have easily just kept walking after seeing Glenn and Maggie get taken by Merle. I mean she had very little reason to trust anyone after Woodbury. But Glenn and Maggie were talking about a baby and they had formula and I think that maternal instinct largely led Michonne to take the big risk of showing up to this new prison group. Because she had to get that formula to that baby. She has to ensure that baby would be okay. 

And little did she know it was her baby she was saving. Making this one of the hundreds of reasons I’ll forever love Michonne and Judith’s mother-daughter story. 

It was the pain of Michonne’s past as a mother that was useful in leading her to a whole new family, where she got to not just love again but be loved again by her kids and her husband. 

I appreciate Deanna for passing down her wisdom and having so much belief in Michonne, and in Rick. And I appreciate Deanna for being a Richonne stan to the end lol. Like I’m glad that in establishing her as a character who can really read people, they have her being adamant to pair Rick and Michonne together because she could tell they were uniquely cut from the same cloth and compatible in every way.

I also think Deanna saw herself and Reg in Rick and Michonne and wanted to pass the baton to the two of them because she felt they were the power couple most capable of building the future she believed in. Just like Deanna expressed how happy she was to build a life with her family from start to finish, she wanted Michonne to know she could have that too because it’s really what Michonne most wanted. 

But just like Reg and Deanna weren’t only leaders and builders together, Deanna wanted Michonne to know that the person you work so well with can also be the person you fall in love with and who is deeply in love with you too. 

I know Deanna would be celebrating when she saw Rick and Michonne finally realize what she’s been knew, which is that they’re perfect for each other. And even with Rick’s “Farmer Rick” era being short-lived, I know Hershel would still be so proud of the way Rick and Michonne grew a beautiful new plant together. 🥰

[spockandawe]

in all honesty, i found you from the 2015 homestuck smut on good ol’ Ao3.

Oh my god, that's amazing, and i love you for it!!! I still have a ton of very genuine affection for that era of my fandom life, and it's where i started writing and drawing stuff that i still stand by today! And I really, really love that archival sites like that keep the older work accessible and findable, it just really..... fondness!! Fondness is the perfect one word summary of my feelings ;u;

(and hey, i wont write off the possibility of someday returning to it! HS art is almost definitely in the cards for clown reasons, and it is still tied with transformers for the funnest smut writing playground I've ever had the pleasure to participate in. And it's more xeno and more consistently xeno than tf, which is always a plus in my book!!! If the right idea hits me, i am THERE)

I feel stupid. I will never have friends like that.And that is why I am a monster.A monster with a hunger.I am not nice. I crave blood. I am truly a monster.

Death has joined the conversation:13

Of course they would not be on. They have never been my friends but do they know how much I need them? Am being a monster without any friends my punishment for killing people on accident? Am I not worthy enough of their time? Of course not! I have never been worthy for any-

Death has left.

DragonSlayer: ..tf?

Isabel:El…?

And that is how I left them. I am not sure if they even care. I care too much. Elliot sat looking at the blank screen. Fat blood tears rolls down his cheeks.The light in his eyes slowly fade as a new scene starts. The scene in which he is laying on his back,in all black. Laying on red satin sheets. Staring upward toward the skies. As if the ceiling has the answers to what he seeks.

I should sign back on. I should...There are so many things that I should do,could have done,should have done,did...But nothing can erase the feelings I have. I know these people but how well do I know them? Do they really know me,like me? So many questions...so many what ifs. That shall end. Someday. Today however is not that day.

Elliot takes out his black tablet and logs onto ForMeetingMonsters.com.

Death has join the conversation.

Isabel:hey

Death:Hey

Isabel:hru?

Death:Fine,thank you for asking.What about you,how are you?

Isabel:I’m okay

Death:That is good.

Isabel:yeah

Beast76 has joined.

Death:Hello Beast

Beast76:hey E :)

Isabel:hey Beast

Death:Mhm

Beast76:hey Isabel :)

Why do I care if they care about me or not? What compels me to feel like this? I hate feeling like this. But what can I do? Nothing.Just nothing. I have started cutting again. First time in a hundred years.How can simple people make me feel like this? how come is life so mean?

It is not mean.

You are right mind. Life is not mean or unfair. In fact it is the opposite.

They would leave you alone to your own thoughts. If they ever knew the truth.The fact that you are insane,crazy,and above all...sound like a girl.

You are correct again.

Isabel:El..?

Death:mhm?

How did I miss what they were saying?Was I really inside my thoughts that much?

Isabel: God...don’t do that again. You had me,Nokia,and Beast worried.

Death:oh-kay

DragonSlayer:Don’t just say oh-kay,Elliot! Damn it! You had me stressing out over you.

Death: I’m sorry.

DragonSlayer: Don’t say it if you do not mean it.

Death: I am truly sorry Nokia. I don’t care what you think. I know what I feel.

Death has left the conversation.

Why does it always ends up like that?

Isabel:El...please come back.

DragonSlayer: I let my anger take control of me. I didn’t want him to leave.

Isabel:Me either.

It would help our character if we knew exactly what he was like. However even when we interviewed him.He did not know the answer to that question.

Who am I? Am I me? Am I him? Which spirit am I? Will I ever know?

It has been a week since our character has gone on ForMeetingMonsters.com and he has been very numb.Doing things such as cleaning,eating,walking,anything to keep his mind away. Although his mind continues to wonders. However our other characters have been on ForMeetingMonsters.com all the time. Waiting for Elliot to log on. This is where they are now. And so...Elliot gets a feeling that someone needs him so he signs on.

Death has joined.

Isabel:El!

DragonSlayer:Elliot!

Beast76: E!

Death:Hey

Isabel has opened a private chat with you.

Isabel:I want to die,El.

Death:Why?

Death: No! I will not let you.I swear it.

You are on the main chat.

Beast76:How have you been?

Death:Okay,and yourself?

Beast76:Same. :)

You are in the private chat.

Isabel:I just want to.

Death:And I swear you shall not. Not as long as I breathe. I may be a monster but I always help my friends. Even to the death.So you listen and you listen good,Isabel. You have absolutely no idea how much you mean to me! How much my mind stays on you and all my other friends! How much I bleed for you,in more ways than one.So do not kill yourself. Fore if you do I shall prevent you and if I can’t ,I shall join you. And I do not say this lightly. So please...don’t.Just don’t.

Isabel:ok

Death:Thank you

Isabel:yeah

You are on the main chat.

DragonSlayer: I had a strange dream last night

Death: What was it about?

DragonSlayer: Caine

Death:Even in death he plagues us. Pity really. He could be better off never knowing us. Or even being alive. The world was a peaceful place long before he came along.

DragonSlayer:huh?

Death:Never mind.

DragonSlayer:ok

Isabel: Who wants brownies?

Beast76:me! Me! I do! C:

Death: I don't want to know.

Beast76: Be happy you two :)

Death: …

DragonSlayer:ok

Isabel:hehe :)

Mr.Sparkles: Sounds to me that all you guys have met before.

Beast76: We have. :)

Mr.Sparkles:Delightful :)

Death: I guess.

Mr.Sparkles: I see. Anything bothering you Death?

Death:No.

Mr.Sparkles: Alright then. We are there if you ever need us. :)

Death:Alrite.

Mr.Sparkles has left the conversation.

Beast76:Well that wasn’t weird at all. :)

Isabel:yeah :)

DragonSlayer: ok

Death has left the conversation.

Many people think they know me. But in truth,they only know him. It is sad really. But in a sense it makes sense. He is everything I am not. A leader, a ruler, a survivor, a brother, a friend, the world. I may have some of these traits but I don’t act on it. Not like he does. I’m more of a follower,not much for ruling,I am no brother, not really a survivor. I am just a live person.Someone who does not take risks. Does not live basically.

You are more than that. You are kind, compassionate, and you may not be a leader twenty- four seven, but when you do let that side shine through, the world sees things differently.

So says the dead guy.

True. But this dead guy helps you when you are at a loss for words or when you want to be seen. Remember that time when you were locked in that dark room.The little light under the door. That is what we are. When one of us gets lost the other one finds us.Or vice versa.

I guess.

Do you remember what Richard said? Don’t be just one of them,merge them. It makes sense. There is more than meets the eye…

Sure,Elliot.

*sighs*

Death has joined the conversation.

Isabel:El! :)

Beast76:E! :)

Death:Hey

Beast76:Where ya go?

Death: I went nowhere and yet everywhere. I went to the other side. Inside the darkness. Inside pain, suffering, and memories. I went where no one has walked and yet everyone yearns for. I went from a nobody to a somebody. I went from a friend to me. And back again. I went...Does it matter, if I am here now? :)

DragonSlayer: Stop talking like you are otherworldly. It is creepy.

Isabel: :)

DragonSlayer: and that doesn’t matter as long as youre safe and here :)

Beast76:Stop reading my mind Nokia! *laughs*

Death: Have I told you recently Nokia that you have improper grammar as well as incorrect sentence structure. ;)

Isabel: hehe

DragonSlayer: i know.

Death: I was joking, bro. :)

Beast76: What have you done with our E?! You aren’t El :(

Death: Who says I am not?

Death: I don’t see anything that states that a vampyre can not update his ways.;) Besides change is good. It means that I am still alive. Still breathing. Still here. And I was way too olde before. Now I am in the “new” age. I have to adapt but I will always be E,Knucklehead.

Beast76: You are scary me.

Death: *sighs*

Death: Who wants or needs a hug?

Beast76: Me!

Isabel: I want one.

Death: Awesome! Group hug! :)

Death:And yes Nokia, you have to be in it. ‘Tis the proper way to have a group hug. :)

Isabel:hehe

DragonSlayer: ok

Death: Kewl

Beast76: what?

Death: Kewl. It means cool.

Beast76:oh.

Death: Yup. :)

Isabel: You are awesome! :)

Death: I would like to believe that. However I can not. Fore I am only awesome as the people that talk to me. So in otherwords, you guys are awesome. :)

DragonSlayer: WO!

Isabel: :)

Beast76:Coolio :)

Death: *hums a song*

Isabel: What song are you humming?

Death: The Rains of Castamere.

Isabel: Cool.

Death: Yeah.

Beast76: Game of Thrones?

Death: Yeah. The Lannister’s song. :)

Beast76: Fantastic! :)

Death: No.

DragonSlayer: No?

Isabel: No,why?

Death: It is not fantastic.

Death: It is fudgetastic! :)

Isabel: Cool :)

Death: I know right? ;)

Death: I am cheesy.

DragonSlayer: How?

Death: Well if you are what you eat, then I am cheese because I’m eating it. :)

Isabel: hehe

Beast76: Rawr!

Isabel: Rawr!

Death: Rawr rawry rawr! :)

Beast76: Yay! :)

Death: Yay! *laughs*

Isabel: hehe :)

Beast76: Why does Nokia take so long in responding?

Death: He is distracted at the moment...Anime takes most of his free time.

Death: Besides school anyway.

Death: He is one lucky guy. I envy you Nokia. My school is not very smart nor does it listen to the parents or students concerns. My school is soooooo stupid. >:( But oh well...schools always suck. Literally.

Beast76: oh and yeah our school does suck. Maybe they have something that makes their panties twisted up?

Death:Most likely.

Death: I have to go. I can’t miss the bus. -_- It is soooo annoying but laterz.

Death has left the conversation.

Our main character gets on the yellow twinkie and sits in his normal spot. Pushed himself closest to the window. Looking distantly out the window. Far past the world in which he lives in. The simplest of things. The best of the world. Not really,but he makes do.

I don’t really want to go to this hell today. Not with idiots. Why do I continue to deal with this? One of these days I am going to snap at these imbeciles. But not that they wouldn’t deserve it. After all if you shrew with people and what they want,you will get something that you never seen coming. I hate people who can not put their foot down. I mean,come on! If you want something, make it fucking happen. Don’t think for a moment that it will automatically happen fore it won’t. Those of people who can’t do this clearly does not want it to happen.

That might not be the case though. Think of what happened to many of your friends.

True.

So maybe it is not that they can not put their foot down but that they keep getting told off and they do not know how to deal with that type of thing, like you can.

I guess.

*sighs*

Don’t go.

After the delightful day of school. Our character comes home and has to deal with arguments and yelling.Just like most days. Many of these arguments are over simple little things or money. Our character keeps his calm and dementor. Even though he just wants to scream and scream and scream some more.He justs want all this crap to end. But he doesn’t do anything about it. Just takes it like a soldier. A soldier with balls of steels but that is what you need to have when you have gone into war. There is nothing that compares to blood soaking the ground,screams of acquintes and even of friends.This is nothing compared to that. And that is why he takes it like a man. Even though he feels like giving up.

More arguments today. I like them better when they do not talk about money.

I know.

Why do they do this to me? What compels them to come to me?

Same way everyone comes to you. You give opinions based on what you know and have experienced.

But still…

I understand.

I know.

Our character drops his bag on the ground and sits on his bed. Looking into the unknown. Inside his own little mind.

Someone wants you.

Well I don’t want them.

That is not true.

*sighs*

What about Nokia,Mariana,Kate,Sallie,FireWhisper,KU,or Amy?

They want you not me. They know you not me. They think that you are still alive but you died long ago! Why do you keep living off from me? Why can’t you just let me be me?

You are a pain in the arse,but there is a reason I am alive inside you. I just do not know the reason. If there was an another way,you can bet full heartily that I would take it. But I can not. So we have to suck it up. Like we have been doing for a while. And you can not suppress me like last time. The more you grow with your gifts,the more I do too.

*sighs*

I always makes sense.Now get your arse on and help those people that want and need it.

I don’t want to. It makes me be reminded that you are more popular than I am,Elliot.

Don’t think about it that way. It is your body and you have showed FireWhisper who you are.

Well...um...he figured it out.

So,that is the same of solving a riddle.

I guess.

*sighs*

Our character takes out his black tablet and looks into the screen,and then turns it on.

Death has joined the conversation.

Mr.Sparkles has joined the conversation.

Mr.Sparkles: I thought I would find you here.

Death:Why?

Mr.Sparkles: There are some things you should not question,my dear.

Death: I see.

Mr.Sparkles:I don’t think you do.

Death:Why do you say that?

Mr.Sparkles: You have yet to make yourself and Elliot as one. You have yet to break out of your shell. So you tell me.

Death: I don't know.

Mr.Sparkles: Figures.

Mr.Sparkles has left the conversation.

Death has left the conversation.

Our character sits and stares at the screen. Thinking very hard about what Mr. Sparkles had said. There is much one can infer about this information. So...is our main character who you thought? You decide. Fore this ends our story.

What the fudge are you talking about Mr.Sparkles?

Oh...for a moment I was confused. But it seems that you are a stalker after all.

Forgetting Mr.Sparkles,let us continue the story.

Elliot sat wondering,ponding in fact. What exactly he was going to tell his friends. Fore they would have to know the truth. He was dead. He was not coming back. He was living off of a person who he once disliked. Until he found out that him and I went through a lot. Well... He decided he didn't have to say a word. For the truth is in these pages.

You make me seem very mushy. I hate mushy stuff. So that means that the story continues.

But Elliot...

We can not leave our readers wondering what happened to our friends now can we?

I guess not.

Isabel became a vampire and is a councillor. DragonSlayer became a ruler and now teaches many young people how to fight.Beast76 got himself a boyfriend and is living in his happily ever after. FireWhisper ended up learning how to fly and control the fire within.As for Mr.Sparkles and myself...well we are alive and well. Not exactly helping the world much. But helping the people within...that is another story.

Can we say that the story is complete now,Elliot?

The story can never be complete.

*sighs*

Fore we are still writing it. Our stories will never end,even in death.

In the end everyone is happy...Most of the time. But life throws you curveballs. Life makes you grow and find your way. Life makes you make new friends and get closer with olde. Or so the story goes...

[spir1tfar3r]

summary: While at the new island you had found, your dear captain got a little too reckless and ended up with an injury that you, his trusted first mate, would have to tend too because he wouldn’t let anyone else do it.

words: 1182

warnings: injury mentions, slight death mention but only because venti’s dramatic

a/n: listen, i know this isn’t the best,,,, but idk how tf to write about pirates agsjdgdh. But this was really fun to do <3

There was something so peaceful about being out on the open sea, being able to take in the fresh air, and being surrounded by some of your closest friends. It seemed hard to believe that only four months ago you were home, unconvinced by Venti’s pleading for you to join his crew. You were hesitant at first, not sure what value you would bring being a part of it and as his first mate of all things and you feared what would happen if someday you never returned, leaving your family clueless on what truly happened to you. Venti understood. Those reasons were why he was hesitant to leave as well. Eventually he became so insistent that you agreed just to shut him up and took notice of how his face and eyes lit up after.

You were startled out of your thoughts when you heard shouting from the front of the ship. Making your way over, you felt your heart sink when you saw Venti, one hand holding onto his side while his other arm was loosely thrown over Amber’s shoulder. The crew were crowded around the two and you could hear Venti’s laughter as he brushed off everyone’s worry, clearly trying to play off his pain. His bright eyes met yours and he smiled, leaving you to wonder if it was because he didn’t want you to worry as well or if he was that happy when he saw you. Before you had the chance to go over to them or say anything, Kaeya had moved everyone out of the way for Amber to take Venti to the ship’s “sick bay”. You watched as the two walked away, hearing Venti yell “but i’m fine!! it’s just a little cut!” while Amber tried telling that no, it was definitely not just a little cut.

The crew eventually dispersed. Everyone went back to the tasks at hand and, although you were worried, you went back to what you were doing before getting lost in your own thoughts. Not getting very far into it, Amber bounded over to you, a smile on her face even though she looked exhausted. “Yn do you mind helping Venti? He’s being stubborn again and I told him that I’d get what we left on the island with Diluc.” She asked and you nod, following her to where your dear captain was sitting. There he was, sitting with his shirt lifted and showing a rather deep cut onto his side. You took note of the way he winced almost every time he lifted or even moved his arm but the moment his eyes landed on you, he smiled and let go of his shirt.

“Well well isn’t this a pleasant surprise! Amber, I told you that I would be fine tending to this alone. You didn’t have to bother Yn.”

Amber snorts, shaking her head as she watches you step inside and make your way over to him. “Last time we let you do that, you just went drinking instead. If you’re not going to let me help you, at least let them.” She replied before she gave you a sympathetic smile and began to leave the room. “Good luck yn!” The door shut behind her leaving the two of you alone.

“It’s not that bad. You don’t have to waste your time on this if you’re busy.” You couldn’t help but roll your eyes at him and was thankful that no one else was around or you’d probably get in some sort of trouble for being “disrespectful” to your captain. Venti didn’t seem bothered by it and watched as you grabbed a, thankfully, clean rag before dropping down next to him. You moved his blouse out of the way and Venti was quick to look away, his face starting to burn from how close you were to him.

Pressing the rag to the cut, which really didn’t seem all that bad, Venti winced from the contact and you alleviated the pressure, trying to be more gentle with his side. “You know that’s it’s fine to admit that you’re not ok, right?” You ask, handing him the rag to hold onto his wound while you grabbed what little bandages that you had to cover him when the bleeding fully stopped. He let out a noise. You weren’t sure if it was out of embarrassment, annoyance, or maybe even both after being called out. As you turned to look back at him, you could see the way he stopped himself from saying something but you weren’t sure if he’d tell you on his own time or if you should comment on it.

You tapped his hand, indicating that he can move it now. He took the hint and moved his hand to let you take over and rested his hands on his lap without being in your way too much. Not getting rid of the look on his face, you finally spoke up. “What is it?”

“Yn, before I die, I need to confess something” Venti began, wincing again when you pressed a new rag on his side. You rolled your eyes, knowing that he’ll be fine once you’re done and didn’t want him to say anything that he may regret, even if you were, admittedly, interested in hearing where he was going with this.

“Venti you’re not going to—” You interrupted but were immediately shut down when he spoke up again.

“Shush!! Before I die, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I'm glad that you agreed to come along with me. I know it hasn’t been as fun as I made it out to be but I’m happy that I have you around. I wish I told you sooner.”

The two of you sat in uncomfortable silence. The only noise that came from either of you was the sound of the bandage as you began to wrap it around his side. The realization was finally hitting Venti that not only was he going to be fine but that he also confessed his feelings for you. The silence felt like an eternity before he finally let out an awkward laugh and finally spoke up again, clearly wanting to lighten the mood a bit. “…Well. Do you want to go drink with me and Kaeya?” He asked, wishing that he listened to you and praying that he didn’t ruin the friendship that he holds most dear.

Humming, you got up and took his hand, helping him get off of the bed. “Sure.” You replied, letting his hand go and heading towards the door. Venti let out a sigh, not sure if he was happy or disappointed that you didn’t say anything after his confession. He went to follow but noticed that you hadn’t stepped out of the room yet and you were now facing him once again with a smile on your face, making Venti’s heart skip a beat. It nearly came to a halt when you finally said the words he had always wanted to hear from you. “And I love you too, Venti.”

headcanon in two parts, sorry. Ask does not miss it. 1.1 Oh, you know the insecticons from the tfp? Can I have a headcanon where a S/O person is on friendly terms with insecticons?

[TF PRIME] S/O Is Friends With The Insecticons

———————————————————————

* [S/O] meets them by accident quite a bit before the events of the Energon Eaters. Arachnid is still “leader” of the Insecticons by technicality as the only available ‘Queen’ for the hive-mind, however she never really patrols the area or takes care of the hive as she should, rather choosing to wander as a free mind, disobeying orders from everybody.

* You had stumbled upon the hive while taking a short walk along the side of the Jasper highway, leading out of town and to an old coal mine you liked to inhabit on your days off work. A home-away-from-home of sorts, it brought you peace of mind to have a quiet place.

* At least you thought it was a quiet, desolate area until you broke through a thinning in the rock floor of the entry shaft and ended up crashing an Insecticon tea-party.

*It was a rather awkward fall, and it had injured your hip joint on the way down, leaving you temporarily paralyzed in throbbing pains and nerve damage.

* The giant bug-like robots and their shiny, metal wingspans immediately armed themselves and aimed at the shifting dust and rockfall, growling and chittering in a language of some sort, unknown to you.

* “Is it one of those ugly-faced Decepticons ploys again?”

* “It’s too small and squishy, much sooner to be a predacons’ chew toy than any weapon.”

* Their manner of speech and vocal patterns was practically lost on you. You could pick up remnants of a language similar to broken [language], but really nothing else. In an attempt to make contact with the metallic giants to gain help, you enabled your parroting capabilities.

* Humans have the stunning ability to mimic sounds and specific noise frequencies, at levels other earthen animals, especially mammals, cannot. Using this ability, you managed to copycat the grinding and chattering noises coming from the vocal mass of bug-bots.

* [S/O]: “¿Krrt-grrut vvurrr chechch?”

* Hardshell: “¿Buzzzz vert-tet-brrrz, Erreech?”

* [S/O]: “¿Erreech?”

* Hardshell: “¡VRREE BUZZZ-EECH CLICKLICKIK!”

* The contact went well, unbeknownst to you, and the successful communication meant that you might actually have a chance at escape, or finding a hospital!

* Congrats! You are now [Tiny Bug Child]! You have no idea what they were speaking about, unaware that they were contemplating how to execute you, but you successfully managed to evade death by being cute and cuddly! People say curiosity killed the cat, but it evidently saves the naive human-who-fell-into-an-insect-cult-meeting!

* Hardshell, the Insecticon you nearly landed on top of, begins to lift you out of the rubble, and place you down upon a makeshift stone table, partially destroyed by the collapse. The others—including Wingflap, Bombshell, Shrapnel, Blockhead, and Kickback—gather closely around you, cooing and chirping in their weird language again.

* This was, evidently, how you became the new Queen of the hive, though you didn’t know it, and managed to befriend your way through the entire enclosed community and worm into the spark of every Insecticon, though they were very few in number.

* You made easy friends with Bombshell, and remained close with him up until his untimely death by Bulkheads hammer fist. He would often lay atop the Jasper cliffside with you, and make out shapes in the clouds, constellations in the stars—regaling to you tales of the Old Cybertron, when his own kind weren’t so despised, and were respected as viable assets and allies amongst those with forms like and unlike their own—until the Autobot Elitists ensured they were seen as ugly and malformed, made to hide away in the shadows and step away from society for ‘the greater good’.

* It’s how you came to hate the Autobots—and Decepticons—for all they had done, to their planet and yours, and to your friends as well.

* Your mimicry slowly turned into actual speech patterns and recognition. Repetitive sound signals were a key portion of Archaic Insecticon speech, which made it easy to recognize simple words or phrases, each indicated by a set of whirs, clicks, or beeps.

* Now that you could actively communicate with most of the hive, it was far easier to make friends with even the hardiest of bots.

* Hardshell, of course, was tough to crack. At your constant insistance, he spoke with you once or twice, and made sure to acknowledge your presence when in the room, as well as save you a seat at the underground pub every other weekend. It wasn’t actually a pub per-say, rather a dugout chamber with smooth walls and some stone slabs insert for seating, where the cons enjoyed engex they could sneak off the Nemesis from time-to-time.

* After awhile, he warms up to you, welcoming you back to the hive every day after work, standing alongside his multiple siblings, and pushing others aside to get to hold you first.

* Meanwhile this all happens, they still don’t know what a human is. Their simple understanding of earth comes only from what they’ve seen on the highway from the cliffside, or from video footage of the Autobot pests on the Nemesis. Due to their bulky size and noisiness, they’re banned from most human-inhabited areas.

* Don’t doubt that some of them have attempted to follow their [S/O] home. They have. And some of them won’t stop trying. It’s been more than one awkward encounter between you and some teens to get them to realize they could get you in trouble.

* You all eat [dessert] together sometimes, made with energon supplements for ‘The Boys™️’, with some good ol’ 25-something-kg of sugar mixed in.

* The boys were worried when you didn’t show up for a week due to hospitalization via severe food poisoning medical coma.

* When Arachnid finally returned to Earth, and her fight against Arcee had proceeded about as well as expected, she located the hive and proceeded to force them to engage in business with Megatron. She believed that by implementing her own soldiers amongst the ranks, she’d be better equipped to backstab Megatron when the time came.

* She was undoubtably surprised when Hardshell and some others adamantly refused to take part in her plans at first, until she enforced their compliance through the hive-mind.

*When she learned of your existence, and the very gauge of your importance to her former hive, she came at you with full force.

*The Insecticons were fully unprepared to deal with a fight between their small [S/O] and an extremely angry ex-Queen. In refute, they returned you to the surface without so much as a goodbye, and begged you to escape before Arachnid scented you out.

* It was soon after these events that you learned of Breakdown’s death, Bulkhead’s coma, and Bombshell’s demise due to the combined effects of a substance called Tox-En and injuries sustained during his battle with Bulkhead. It broke you inside to learn there was nothing you could have done to help, but you refused to disobey their pleas to stay away for awhile.

* At the hive, Arachnid rules supreme. Being able to control the hive-mind was a feat a human was incapable of achieving, only Cybertronians able to easily access the imbedded chain of command.

* Hardshell mourned the loss of a true friend—a small, squishy human—but a friend nonetheless.

* Wingflap and Kickback went through a collection of memories you’d left behind with them. Pictures and small objects gifted over the years, a small treasure trove of important parts of their lives, now without you in them.

* Shrapnel stims a lot more now, and has nervous tics that he believes are the result of the loss of his dear friend. He knows you aren’t dead, least not yet, but he knows that you’ll likely never come back.

* Blockhead, as dumb as everybody thinks he is, is actually very emotionally intelligent. He has a way with words he barely understands, and [S/O] acted as a big support for someone like him. Without them now, he can no longer function like normal, and now has nobody left to talk to.

* Arachnid could care less. She absolutely despises [S/O], and would smite them for all she cares. You matter little to her, and only worry her for the loyalty and capacity of her troops.

* It isn’t until the Energon Eaters appear that everything turns completely south.

* [S/O] finally builds up enough courage to march themselves back down to the mine, and demand to meet Arachnid face-to-faceplate.

* The desert is hot, Nevada is hotter, and the trek down the highway seems endless and tedious. You pass by 5 interstate signs on your way to the hive, and count the steps it takes to reach the entrance, parched by the time you make it there.

* In all your sweaty glory, you, [S/O], make your way down the carved pathway into the mineshaft, dark and cramped—just as you left it.

* But everything is exactly as it was left, not an item out of place. The entire hive was empty, including of those you cared about. Their rooms are full of memories, and their energon cubes still lie in a corner, collecting dust and grime.

* The search seems profitable, yet it leaves you with nothing, and the emptiness of the hive echoes around you, and in all the chambers, through the cavern walls of every room.

* You know they’re gone, that they have left without you, and without so much as a simple passing note.

* Perhaps someday you’d find them, hiding away in another Jasper mine, but you never would.

* In their haze of a hive mind, they barely even remember the face of the human they left behind. A long line across the moon—stretching on for miles—and a vampire on a false throne, draining the lifeblood from their veins, and the image of [S/O] from their minds.

For dads trouble AU

Does Karl ever get ok with being around Tubbo or any of the borrowers? How long does it take if he does warm up to them?

He eventually does, don’t worry!

With the other borrowers, it takes a bit longer than it does with Tubbo, because they are actively trying to stay tf away from Karl and don’t care about getting closer to him. Tubbo, on the other hand, desperately wants his other future step dad to like him.

It’s just that him warming up to Tubbo and him being ok with Tubbo’s presence are two things that do not happen at the same time.

Tubbo tries for a long time to get Karl more used to him being around. He tries to appear more randomly throughout the house, never quite near Karl, but in his line of sight. Eventually Karl just stops entering rooms he sees Tubbo in. So he tries to bring gifts to Karl, shiny buttons or nice flowers or other things that he could collect to show he cared. But half the time Tubbo approached him with his peace offerings, Karl ran off before he could even see what it was.

Tubbo eventually realizes that all of his in-person advances to get Karl to like him are backfiring because Karl is terrified of him. So what does he do?

He friends Karl on discord.

Which works…surprisingly flawlessly!

Karl, Tubbo, Sapnap, and Quackity spend hours a day just talking about whatever or playing some random game of jackbox or singing karaoke. It not only becomes a bonding activity for all of them, but Karl becomes much closer to Tubbo after finally getting the chance to know him.

Tubbo learns of Karl’s love of history and shirts that Quackity had dictated his “grandma sweaters,” and how he loves to read and write and how he hopes to open a library someday. Karl in return learns about Tubbo’s favorite tv shows and his love of bees, and how he loves the cold and how he wished it would snow more in the city. He learns that Tubbo’s favorite pastime whenever none of the humans are home is to go exploring through the vents with his best friends and try to steal things from abandoned apartments.

However, as fun as these conversations are for him, Karl just…can’t be around Tubbo in person.

Since they started talking regularly, Tubbo has tried to start similar conversations in person, but it never works. He’ll come out from behind whatever item he was behind and try to bring up how he wanted to try a new jackbox game tonight, that he liked Karl’s shirt, that he really liked the snippet of a story that Karl had read to him the night before, but it never worked.

He just…froze. Everytime, without fail, the color would drain from his face, his hands and knees would start to shake, and he’d slowly back away, trying to say something but his breaths coming in and out too quickly to actually speak.

And everytime, without fail, their online conversations always start the same way now. Tubbo will call, and Karl will always say “I’m so sorry. I’m trying, I swear, I’m trying, I just…can’t.” Or some iteration of that. Tubbo tries not to let it phase him.

But he can’t help but wonder how much easier this all would have been if he was human.

He wouldn’t have to hide. He wouldn’t go into a panic attack during a rainstorm. He wouldn’t have to always be cautious to not fall or be stepped on or be found by some random human. No one would feel the need to swallow him down if he was in danger or cold or scared or anything. He’d be able to handle himself instead of placing the full responsibility of his life in the hands of people who had their own lives they needed to put first.

He could go places with his dads. Properly bond with his stepdads. He could eat at restaurants, go to museums and libraries that Karl had talked about, see his favorite musicals live instead of streamed on tv, and go to parks by himself to see the bees and the other creatures that would no longer be big enough to kill him, and see the world around him as something beautiful, not just something a few missteps away from ending his life.

And by no fault of his, these were the thoughts that came out of most of his and Karl’s conversations now.

And again by no fault of his, Tubbo usually hung up crying.

Does Jungkook have a twin flame ? He has been writing songs based on seeing someone in his dreams just like joon the song “your eyes tell” and music video is all from Jungkook…he’s been slowly hinting at it since 2017 but now since 2020 he’s been too obvious. Read the lyrics of your eyes tell and watch the music video

I didn’t interpret “your eyes tell” as a love song? I interpreted it as a “hey I’m really sad rn but I’m holding out for a brighter future” song?

“ Shadows of the past keep on chasing me

But the more I try to escape and struggle, the more it follows

But I still want to hold onto it, wherever you are I'll find you

To a tomorrow of us”

Just because it had words like “us, love, together” I don’t automatically think it’s a love song. It could be talking about the population, family, humanity.

“Even the darkness we see is so beautiful

Please believe me

Looking only directly at you

So you don't go away

The gazing eyes are so colorful

You taught me

That someday the sadness

Will wind us together”

I could argue that those lyrics are calling for a Hunger Games-style government protest.

We all have twin flames. Whether we meet them in this lifetime is up to our own personal choices that we make on our life journeys that are intended to bring us closer together or farther apart.

Currently jungkook is making choices that are veering him away from his tf. He is definitely into the party phase of his life. He thinks that is how he will meet his tf, but alcohol and one night stands lower your vibrations instead of raising them and you need to be in high vibes to meet your divine partner. *everytime you have sex you exchange energy. You are taking on good and bad energy from that person. Think of whenever you vent to a friend-you feel like a heavy burden has been released… it has, onto your friend. Sex is the same. All of your negative energy (insecurity, trauma, worries, generational issues) gets passed onto that person unknowingly

Life is a cycle, so everything is always a loop. He can course correct himself and get back on track but it will require some soul searching. Give him some time (maybe like 1-2 years) and he should have his partying days out of him and be ready to do some inner work, especially when his Saturn Return comes around. He could probably speed up his healing if he dropped bad influences like 97 line

Ffs BODY why are you doing this to me

All day long I’m all “ugh I’m so sweaty this is disgusting I hate how I smell and how I’m just …damp and there are SO MANY STAIRS who tf said it was okay to have SO MANY FUCKING STAIRS in one city”

And all day I’m like “maybe scone will be Up For It. Maybe I can convince myself to be Up For It. I should shower so I feel better. We’ve been having a ‘rest’ day today. It has been at LEAST six months since we’ve slept together both due to distance circumstances and due to these fucking antidepressants making me go ‘sex? Never heard of it’.”

And then we do the walk around the lights, which, meh. Was fine. Had a burger, which oh my fuck was very good, like not “in n out after not having it for two years” good or smashburger Arizona or Colorado state special burger good, but it was “wow this BUN??? This MEAT??? Wow this is GOOD” good. At last returned to the Airbnb. Drank a whole bunch of water because you get so very thirsty when water comes in tiny European-sized glasses at room temperature. I have never been so ready for a shower in my life, as I have thought literally every evening since the evening of the 27th of December. Sat down on the couch. Realized I felt like I was hit by a truck. “Okay all I have to do is shower and go to sleep”.

Scone goes “hm that sounds like a good idea” and I cannot possibly put two and two together until the very end of his shower when he comes back into the room where I’m laying half-asleep with my feet up the wall and goes, “so… are you tired” (which is one of the code words for “do you want to have sex”) and this wave of guilt-shame-and-too-much-water-ingesting nausea washes over me for wanting nothing more than to go to sleep but also make scone happy and AT SOME FUCKING POINT before I was on the current meds I TOO ENJOYED HAVING SEX and I excuse myself and go to the bathroom and brush my teeth trying to psyche myself up for it, but of course since I said “yes I’m exhausted I’m sorry” he took it like a reasonable human being and decided to get ready for bed, and then the guilt deepens because I am so excited to GO TO SLEEP and I also just really don’t want to be here anymore that yes, I do start crying as I try to explain that I’m sorry, it’s not him, I’m so tired, I’m so sorry, and he, like a rational human, is like no it’s okay don’t worry, I understand!! Go to bed, it’ll happen someday. And in my head I’m like BUT WHAT IF IT DOESNT. WE ARE GOING TO GET FUCKING DIVORCED AND I HAVENT SENT THE THANK YOU NOTES OUT. WE CANT GET DIVORCED WHILE YOUR GREEN CARD IS PROCESSING—and I’m too tired to stop myself from doing the catastrophization spiral, so it’s just going to sit in my brain and I’m going to let it and hope it doesn’t turn out too bad if I just acknowledge that the feelings are there and not feed the brain trolls.

And at some point I will have to have or remind him of having the conversation about hey yeah so because I have found and slept with the scum of the earth, I’ve also been emotionally and sexually abused by multiple people, so I very much love and appreciate your attitude about it, but I also need lots of reassurance that you aren’t going to be mad or something so that I can stop making long and rambling and incoherent posts on tumblr about it

Also we can cuddle, we just can’t Cuddle(tm), which is why we need to find another alternative euphemism for having sex

(IMAGINE our mutual confusion when he says “do you want to cuddle” after a date one night and I’m like hell fuck yeah I want to cuddle!!! thinking “yeah I want the biggest squishiest sidewaysest hug snuggle you can give me”, and he’s like fuck yeah let’s get naked and I’m like … what. And he’s like …??? What???? And I use my Native Speaker Intuition(tm) to go oh shit that was a EUPHEMISM that was PRAGMATICS and TABOO AVOIDANCE not literal cuddling (and then I explain it to him, only slightly more coherently than that, and go thank god you’re also a linguist so I can say that to you in that way), and so every time I have to adjust my expectations and elaborate when I go “yes let’s CUDDLE”)

[the-slythering-raven]

My displays of affection are private..

Maybe it's DMing you a post/a picture that made me think of you.. maybe its me ranting and letting rant in DMs.. Maybe it's this one one-on-one video call with you, maybe it's me tearing up about this character who has stolen both our hearts, maybe it's me being initially not so fond of a character, but they make you happy, and hearing you gush about it to me makes me happy, maybe its me slipping in your dms at exactly midnight of your time zone to wish you a happy birthday, maybe its me and you going AWWWWWWWWWW when we exchange cute animals pics and videos in the DMs, maybe its me remembering every single detail you ever confided to me, maybe its me hitting up your DMs to ask if you are alright, because you werent active at a time you usually are, or maybe because i havent heard from you in a timespan we usually hear from each other, maybe its me going TF why arent you asleep yet?? in DMs, maybe you told me you enjoy this thing, and me searching everywhere I know to find such stuff,,,

Maybe its me tearing up when scrolling up through the chatbox, for whatever reasons and saving every pic you have shared with me when Im at my lowest moods...

There USED to be one time, when I used to thrive off PDAs on the internet.. but not anymore.. That me is dead.. so if you wonder why do I never show you my affection publicly, that's why..

That being said, if Im feeling cheeky I may hit up your askbox sometimes just to annoy you ;)

Now it's only me and you and our unique relationship with each other, with the few people who have seen me at what was possibly my worst, and stayed as a rock for me to hold onto when I feel im drowning in the waves

....Peeps in my DMs whom i regularly or semi-regularly talk with, you all matter SO much to me you have NO. Idea.

That being said, peeps who are NOT in my DMs, or who I talked with in DMs once and never returned, you are in no way any less important.. maybe I will start talking to you someday and then you wont be able to shut me up.. or maybe Im just admiring you from afar ;)

10.16: a certain doom

spoilers (both general and caryl) under the cut:

the episode iiiiiissss not super worth the six month wait (like in general, not vis a vis caryl) 

it’s marginally more exciting than the penultimate episode

marginally

i think the problem is they utilized time poorly, so the attack on hilltop was Amazing, but then they accidentally forgot to make the end of the war suspenseful or interesting lol

that being said, it had its moments, so let’s break it down, shall we?

first off, caryl have a brief scene in the beginning in the stairwell where daryl is telling carol that michonne left, and he’s like “everybody leaves and then i never see them again :( “ and carol is like “...i haven’t left” and daryl goes “-sure jan-” and leaves carol looking like a hurt puppy bc she thinks he still hasn’t forgiven her/never really will, more on that later

lydia and carol have a scene where lydia is like:

and carol was like “that’s cuz you should hate me and shouldn’t try and look to me for advice, go find your own way in life” and lydia says “k i’m not asking you to be my mom, i’m asking if we can be bros, but w/e, i’m sure this conversation isn’t foreshadowing to an event that will happen later” 

more on that later

princess & crew broke their bikes so they were running late to the rendezvous, and eugene was about to give up, but zeke gave an empowering speech about Never Giving Up (which is kinda weird coming from a dude with cancer whose wife left him and whose son got murdered, but w/e, you get on with your optimistic self, zeke) and convinced him to carry on, more on that later

(here’s an exclusive sneak peek at the scene tho:)

there’s a two hour long scene of our main peeps walking through the giant horde covered in guts, which would be more interesting if they didn’t do that all the time

beatrice got eaten which would have been more of a bummer if i remembered who beatrice was

it did get lydia involved in the fight tho, so that’s something

side note: negan gave lydia alpha’s mask as if it was supposed to be symbolic or something, instead of incredibly traumatizing to this little girl whose abusive mother just got her head chopped off, like couldn’t she have just put guts on like the other people? ok, my dude, way to be a surrogate father figure ig

while carol is still stuck in the horde daryl asks where carol is, which has been the majority of his lines this season

they try to lead the horde away by blasting talking heads, which is a little on the nose but entertaining nonetheless, but then carol had to go and say “protect the horses,” which is a guarantee that the horses will get eaten, bc it’s twd, so whomp whomp, they lose their apparently only plan for leading the horde away

(how have they not learned better by now?)

(better question: how are there any horses left??)

daryl has an unintentionally funny line where he’s like, “k so this is a super shitty idea, and i am aware of that, but let’s just go fucking kill all of the whisperers”

lydia then volunteers to go throw herself off a cliff to get rid of the horde, and daryl brushes her off, more on that later

anyway they go and just. kill all the whisperers ig? including beta? whose death took like two seconds and involved a brief flashback montage and was incredibly anticlimactic for how fucking badass he was (negan draws him away, daryl stabs him the eyes, which was kinda cool, and then he goes and stands in the middle of the horde and smiles wistfully while he’s eaten alive, like a normal person would do)

up at headquarters gabriel is about to get murdered by whisperers, but then maggie and her masked friend somehow make it past the entire horde and up the stairs in time to save him

sure

cut to lydia leading the entire horde to the cliff, but then carol jumps in and tells her to go and that she’ll do it, and is about to go for a fun tumble, BUT THEN lydia pulls her away and they have a brief argument about it

their whole plotline this episode is very:

anyway

what follows is what’s meant to be a heartwarming scene between the two of them where they put aside all their baggage and hug each other and realize they’re stronger together than at odds, and objectively it’s a good scene, but i couldn’t stop laughing bc they kept showing the walkers falling off the cliff and it looked SO STUPID, it was hilarious

they just. literally kept just stepping off the cliff and falling like bricks askdfljs

and then lydia went and threw alpha’s mask off the cliff and that Did Not make it less funny

idk, i’m probably just a bad person, but it was super fucking funny, anyway

maggie reunited with judith, which was actually very sweet, esp when you remember that she delivered her (in the most traumatic way possible)

the caryl scene was nice. i had to watch it a couple times before i decided how nice, bc like everything else in the episode it felt kind of rushed, but essentially carol and lydia return, and daryl is standing in the exact position he was standing in “no sanctuary”, bc apparently that’s how he leans on trees, and carol approaches him super warily, and they both stare at each other, and carol asks him if he’s good, and he is visibly trying not to cry when he goes “yeah. it’s over. right?” and she says yes, and he asks her if she got what she wanted, and she says no, and he tells her she still has him, and she’s like “yeah?” while crying, bc, per earlier interaction, she was p sure she was never gonna get him back entirely, and he says yeah, and then they hug, and carol makes a little sob noise, and daryl buries his face in her shoulder and is teary, too, and then daryl brings up new mexico, and carol says “maybe someday” and daryl deffo looks disappointed but agrees, and then carol has her “we still have things to do, i’m clearly saying this as a set up for dramatic scenes that are about to follow” line

cue dramatic things following

connie is alive (we been knew), but is banged tf up, and runs into virgil. or more like collapses on the ground and virgil finds her and they stare blankly at each other until connie passes out

and then we jump back to princess & crew, who are sitting there bummed out bc stephanie isn’t there, and eugene is like, “bc of zeke’s wise words, i am Not Giving Up, we set out to find and recruit people (did they? i literally don’t remember) and so that’s what we’ll do!” 

and it’s a Big Moment of Solidarity and Strength

for all of five seconds, bc they are then accosted by stormtroopers, who presumably work for commonwealth. whether or not commonwealth is building a death star is unclear at this time, but i suppose we’ll find out soon

cue end credits!

so overall: the episode occurred. it wasn’t like, devastatingly disappointing, in that the penultimate episode didn’t really set me up for any sort of big anticipation, and also i had spoilers ahead of time. i wish there had been more time for things like beta’s death to be played out properly, but i wonder also if they were limited on what they could do bc of pandemic shit and trying to get it edited as quickly as possible

as it stands, even tho the whisperers are my favorite twd villains, i’m glad they didn’t do what they did with the saviors and have it drag on for ten million years for no reason

the bottle episodes should be interesting, and prob will lead us into commonwealth, which, again, not sure on the status of the death star, but i’m excited to see what happens regardless

on the caryl front i’m about where i was before, which is fully anticipating canon coming, and my guess is the season will really heavily set up their departure, which means we will have many more scenes to come

the end

as usual, stay hype, stan kang, and get daryl to call carol sweetheart 2k20 (i still have three months left, i’m not giving up yet, zeke wouldn’t want me to),
